PGs- McCain and Maniscalco

[Da Coach]

Their center was Alex Gilbert, whose nephew Phillip played for Bradley.

Their lineup also included Bobby Heaton, and another guard named Steve Reed.

The last one I saw triple teamed was Larry Bird, so I guess he is comparing AW to LB, they are both from Indiana. The final score was something like 29-27 in favor of Indiana State, there was no shot clock. The 3 triple teaming Bird had him pinned on the baseline several times. I hope I'm remembering this name right - it was Carl Nicks that won that game for them.

I was also at that game. I believe BU actually played a triangle & two.. not a triple team of Bird. Harold McMath (?) was about a 6'6"-6'7" forward and the teams best defender. He had the backside and one of the guards fronted Bird. Without checking the record books.. Bird scored only 3 that night.. 2 when he stole the ball.. and a free throw. That game was also a coming up of short for Nicks. He had not scored much on the season coming into that game. He had a big night was stayed hot until the finals against Michigan State.

That was a fun game to watch although I like todays games better. I think we played the 4 corners which is why the score was so low but when we got a man open (backdoor) we went for it. Dick Versace almost pulled it off.
